# Architecture

> Enforce architectural rules when generating or modifying code. Defaults to clean architecture; supports any architecture style via the architecture-refiner. Validates layer responsibilities, dependency direction, and structural constraints using the loaded architecture rules. Use when generating code, reviewing architecture, creating new files, or when the user mentions 'architecture', 'layers',…

## About

# Architecture

## Config Resolution

**Step 1 — Determine mode:**

1. Read `.lattice/config.yaml` in repo root
2. Check `architecture_mode` key
   - If `architecture_mode: custom` → **custom mode**
   - If absent, or other value → **clean architecture mode** (default)

**Step 2 — Load enforce rule:**

- **Clean architecture mode** → Read `./references/clean-architecture.md` for enforce instruction (Self-Validation Checklist, Anti-Pattern Scan, Ambiguity Signals, structural principles)
- **Custom mode** → Read `./references/custom-architecture.md` for enforce instruction

**Step 3 — Load architecture content:**

- **Clean architecture mode:**
  1. Check `paths.architecture` in `.lattice/config.yaml` for custom doc
  2. If found, read doc and check YAML frontmatter for `mode`:
     - **`mode: overlay`**: Read `./references/clean-architecture-defaults.md` first, then apply custom doc section on top. Section match by heading — custom section replace matching default, new section append.
     - **`mode: override`**: Custom doc take full precedence. Must be comprehensive.
  3. If no custom doc → read `./references/clean-architecture-defaults.md`

- **Custom mode:**
  1. Check `paths.architecture` in `.lattice/config.yaml` for team architecture doc
  2. If found → read it. Sole reference — no default.
  3. If not found → surface: "No architecture document found. Run `/architecture-refiner` and select your architecture style to define your team's standards."

**Step 4 — Language adaptation:**

If `paths.language_idioms` exist in config, read **"Dependency Management"** section and adapt dependency direction enforcement to language idioms (e.g., Go interface-at-consumer, Java DI containers, Rust trait bounds). Language idioms take precedence over pseudocode defaults.

## Enforcement

STOP after generate each component. Read **Self-Validation Checklist** and **Anti-Pattern Scan** from loaded enforce rule (clean-architecture.md or custom-architecture.md) and apply.

**Project-specific checks:** If architecture content doc (loaded in Step 3) contains a **Validation Checklist** section (§6), apply those checks as additional project-specific validation after the enforce rule checklist.
